Psalm 119:143

Psalms of David in Metre 1650 (Scottish Psalter)

Trouble and anguish have me found, and taken hold on me: Yet in my trouble my delight thy just commandments be.

See the chapter Copy

I am with sore affliction ev'n overwhelm'd, O Lord: In mercy raise and quicken me, according to thy word.

Lord, from the depths to thee I cry'd.

And let thy tender mercies come to me, that I may live; Because thy holy laws to me sweet delectation give.

And will delight myself always in thy laws, which I lov'd.

Upon thy statutes my delight shall constantly be set: And, by thy grace, I never will thy holy word forget.

Of death the cords and sorrows did about me compass round; The pains of hell took hold on me, I grief and trouble found.
